Answer:

C. Described William McKinley as a weak president.

Explanation:

On February 9, 1898, the contents of a seized Spanish letter caused an international scandal that fueled anti-Spanish and pro-war feelings in the United States. While in Washington in the middle of December, Spanish ambassador Enrique Dupuy de Lôme wrote a personal letter to his friend José Canalejas who was in Cuba. The letter contained these derogatory comments about President McKinley and his policies concerning Cuba:

Besides the natural and inevitable coarseness with which he repeats all that the press and public opinion of Spain have said of Weyler, "It shows once more that McKinley is weak and catering to the rabble and, besides, a low politician who desires to leave a door open to himself and to stand well with the jingos of his party."

What is the difference between the Anglo Colonists, like William B. Travis and the Tejanos?
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

The Anglo colonists, as the name implies, were people from the United States who were mostly of British descent. They can be divided in two groups: those who came from the neighboring Louisiana, and expanded the slave plantations in Eastern Texas, and those who came from Appalachia, and founded small farms in Central Texas.

The Tejanos were the original colonists of Spanish descent, who came from other parts of Mexico. They spoke Spanish, were catholic, and had ties to Latin America. However, they were also part of the independece movement in Texas, but many of them opposed the annexation of the state to the United States (this was supported en masse by the Anglos for obvious reasons).
